The right type of exercise you do will depend upon what you like and are willing to do. If you do not like any form of exercise it may be necessary to just pick the type of exercise you are willing to tolerate. When chosing the type of exercise it is important to decide if you are able or willing to pay a gym membership fee, buy weights and equipment for home use, as well as other issues that will arise when finding the best routine for you.

If you choose something that you don’t like to do, you aren’t going to keep doing it for a long period of time.  Take a little time and decide what exercise is the best fit for you.  If you do not  like jogging, you aren’t going to get up at 6 AM and go running.  If you can’t find something you like to do, choose something you hate the least, which will normally be walking.

Walking is great exercise, as it suits all levels of fitness.  Anyone can start a walking program at any time, it’s normally the intensity and duration that differs.  Walking is also a social exercise, as it isn’t difficult to find a training partner to chat with while you exercise.  Walking with a partner will also make time go by faster.

No matter what exercise you choose, you should start at a low level of intensity and build it up over a period of weeks, which is essential to the
longevity of your exercise program.  If you start off too hard, you could end up with an injury which will require time off to get over.

If you are really in bad shape, you should start off by walking for 10 minutes each day.  Then, increase it by 5 minutes every 2 weeks.  To make
things more interesting, you should try walking a different course every few days.  Also, getting a friend to walk with you will have keep you motivated.

If walking isn’t your thing, then you may want to consider joining a workout facility. If they aren’t willing to treat you well before you join, then they certainly won’t after you join.  You should also make sure that the equipment they use is well taken care of.  It’s easy to find out, as all you have to do is listen to the machines.  If they squeak a lot or make noise, then chances are they aren’t being taken care of.

If you still aren’t sure what you should do, then you should look into golf or tennis.  Both are good social activities in most areas, and you can even meet new friends.  Tennis is great for fitness although it is not the optimal choice when first starting out.  If you haven’t exercised in a long time, then golf may be the best activity for you.

Whatever you choose, the important thing is to take action and get moving to optimize your health and fitness for a longer, healthier life.
